NEATLY TRAPPED,
Seizure Of Wool Consigned to n Prominent
Us Firm-SuspIcious Lnxtty Of OltictAIs.

80 frm-Suspicious Lnxity OF OIuclhls.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 2S.-A seizure
made By Special Agent Hanlon and spe-
clal Inspector McVay, O'Neill and Chance,
will In all probability lead to Sensational
developments in commercial circles. For
some time past the anthoritiea at Wash.
ington have been in possession Of informa.
ton to the effect that large quantities Of
wool were being smuggled into Phila.
delphia. Although the fact was well as.
sured II was found exceedingly diglcult to
place the responsibility for the contraband
admissions, and great caution was exer.
Cised in tracing tho matter up without put
ting the offenders on their guard. Ener-
getic work with discretion reaped q rich
harvest yesterday. Twas discovered that
tho transactions had boon going on Tor a
long time. The method was nicely cor
ceived and well executed up to the time
Of the seizure. A convenient loophole
was found, by some means as yet unre.
vealsd, In Philadelphia. Largo quantities
Of wool, It Is believed, found It's way here,
was picked. over and reshipped TO New

department In New York was strictly en-.
forced. A clew was obtained as to the
Canadian point Of shipment, and special
men were detailed 10 work the matter up.
They cautiously worked their way until
they felt certain that they had the right
parties in sight, saw tho wool loaded and
accompanied 1t here. They did not neg.
lect to convey secret official information
regarding tho transaction, the result being
that very select lot OF wool was seized
on board freight cars at the Willow street
wharf. eli
The material was conaigned 10 house
doing business on Chcstnut street, which
had been appraised Of the coming Of the
wool, and which had already forwarded a
check for $500 in payment This sum
will be lost to the firm. The wool was con.
veyed to the seizure storehouse, and will
be sold by tho Treasury Department. The
seizure bids fair to lead to u lively bust.
ness scandal. An investigation will ensue
for the purpose Of finding out how 1t was
possible for the transactions to become
systematizad under the very uosea OF the
vigilant Government officials. That there

The Talk Of tho Townsville liza. the Best
9la h'F "''of It After A1le t'Nt H7' 4.
Tho prevailing topic Of conversation yes
terday In political and business circles
was the municipal election Of the previous
day. There were innumerable e1plana.
tons made Of the vote OF every ward; al.
most every politician, Republican and
Democrat alike, had his own individual
theory to advance as to the why and
wherefore Of the result. The Public
Building was filed all day long with these
rea8onefs and the disagreeable weather
making street corners decidedly uncom-
Portable for the oracles, they took refuge
IN tho saloons where tho surprises and
diBappointments wero carefully reviewed
snd discussed. Then, too, almost every
grocery storo and tobacco stand had its
little circle Of intimates that gathered and
talked the situation over. ~ HA,g.sslr
Taken all III all, the Democracy seems
to feel that although liz own and only
seabtight has baen made Mayor and ita
pot Smith again elevated to chair he was
mayer designed to Oil, that its so.callol
victory Is not d great one. Certainly 1t Ia
not, when one contemplates tho fact that
the Council lis one with a Republican
majority Of two in each branch-a major.
lily Of four on joint ballot, large enough To
successfully control matters, and thin
means a good deal.
The contemplation OF these two facta
from q Democratic standpoint Is made
still more sad, when 1t Is remembered that
the Mayor han no patronage to dispense,
and that the men nominated to compose
the police force by the Chief Of Police,
will have 10 undergo the scrutiny and In
spection Of that Republican majority be.
fore being confirmed as such; and on the
other hand, that the Council e con-
trola by elections, directly and iudl.
rectly, the dispenaating Of about
100000 per annum in the way OF salaries
and pay rolls. i is pretty safe to say that
Republicans will have a large share Of
that Tor the next two years; the Democ.
racy will not be In position the uoxt
time to demand contributions from the
gas house employees for the purpose Of
electing the head Of a ticket and missing

The Democracy had enough money,
|judiciously expended, to have done better
than it did. 1t Ia calculated that not leaa
than 5000 was spent 10 defeat CLERK
Bowers it being feared that at the next
election Of sheriff, he might provo q
formidable candidate for any Democrat to
fight against. And while money was
spent freely, beer aud iwhiaky especially
on election day, was handed around in q
lavish manner. (
There is probably moro truth than fc'
